Retreat of the British from Concord — c. 1860 steel engraving — In an antique frame

$795.00

Retreat of the British from Concord 

19th century steel engraving engraving by Alonzo Chappel, a painter and illustrator.  Born in New York in 1828, he studied at the National Academy and exhibited at the American Institute before he was seventeen.  He is mainly known as an illustrator of historical books, with most dealing with the American Revolution and the Civil War.  

This shows a view we're not used to seeing, and is very well done.  Note the details, both in the center of the image and off in the distance as you see the smoke from the fire that the Regulars set.

In a beautiful antique frame, with UV protecting non-glare acrylic.
